Diamonds Aren't Always A Girls Best Friend...

I've been collecting white restaurant ware to replace my every day dishes for a while now. I usually find them in thrift stores, and love serving food in them. Something about white makes everything look so yummy!

My Valentines Gift

Well... instead of diamonds, which are nice, I got these white dishes, which are better...(in my eyes anyway). Buzz couldn't have given me anything I appreciate more. Of course, his sweet card with his fun little poem made the gift even more special ":o)

I agree that the white restaurant dishes are better than diamonds. I'm not a diamond girl either. How sweet of Buzz to get you those and a sweet card.I have been collecting white ironstone dishes the last couple of years and I'm loving them.Blessings, Barb

Now he's a husband that pays attention! What a great gift! I don't have vintage dishes (that we eat off), but both sets that I own are white. Food just looks more appetizing when it doesn't have to compete with patterned dishes.

I am so with you on that! I can think of a million other things I'd rather spend my $$ on before a tiny shiny rock! Thanks for finding me and following me, I am now following you too on Linky Followers! Little Bit from DecorateWithaLittleBit.com

What a lovely gift! I am doing the same thing...slowly replacing our dinnerware with fabulous restaurant ware! I love it, but haven't been able to find as much of it at discounted prices. I would like to get up to 12 place settings! Right now only 5. Too much fun isn't it? Love the clinky sound it makes, too. And I soooo agree about everything looking so much better on it!!

I think the best gift givers are the ones that take the time to know what we like and appreciate. So, kudos to your Valentine! I too love the simplicity of white dishes. I am kicking myself for not purchasing the 'diner'ware I saw at Goodwill.
